Good luck everyone

Edit, England have turned up, not looking good for the Netherlands at the mo!

I gave them a shout in post #326

Don't think anyone thought that Yamal would show up like he has and he's only 16, 17 by the time of the final! Bloody Hell !!
I hadn't heard much about Dani Olmo, looks a player. Took his goal well last night.

Every chance of pens again tonight I reckon.

Spain have looked good throughout for me.

That young lad Yamal - wow - plus Williams, Olmo, Rodri... all very good.

Watched Yamal's goal a lot of times. Seriously good. Not many players would send both Rabiot and Saliba so easily and then get that shot away to beat a really goof keeper.

The game was great to watch after some of the Dog poo we've had to suffer so far

Yes the rolling around really pisses me off.
I've not watched all the matches so can't be certain but is it the case that most nations have curtailed the practise somewhat but the Spanish are as bad as ever?

Yes and no, my father was Dutch so I grew up watching the, Netherlands because he loved them and Germany because he, err, 'disliked' them but admired the football. Naturally we watched England too, but all I ever remember of that was the word 'quatch' aka rubbish

So, I like to follow all 3 teams but given choice between all 3 England would be last until they earn it, semis don't count unless your the UK press .
If by some fluke, and I mean fluke, England win it, no real English football fan can hold their hands or head up and say they deserved it, or played well. The 'win is a win', not for me and as far as them being hailed along side the best the U.Ks produced, get a grip folks

Papers are saying Trippier starting though Shaw is available.

Really looking forward to it, I hope it's as good as last night's match, face slams excluded...or maybe not, can't see Walker not reacting to that!

Thought the Spanish looked good last night as they have all tournament BUT..all the rolling around and theatrics, pathetic.

France much better second half but you have to take your chances.

Nacho's face slam on Muani was quite entertaining though

I must admit the thought of drab England being in the final...hmm. It would be great for English football & English fans, but for football fans & the game I think not, crikey we'd never hear the end of it, statues of Southgate.

I really hope it'll be Netherlands v Spain, that would be a good final.

Watching England is like dace fishing with a barbless hook…..

It’s no fun, technically you are fishing but feck all is gonna end up in the net, and eventually a bigger fish is going to come along and its game over

What a goal by Yamal

Edit, I'm constantly told how great the French team is, I get fed up hearing it, just like how great PSG were with MB, not!. Great game from the Spanish, well deserved.

He should've been banned for life.

I thought the injury time at the very end of the Spain v Germany match was a bit suspect.
It went on and on as if the ref wanted Germany to equalise,

They're all bent to some degree and, given his reputation, I would imagine that his decisions will be under such intense scrutiny that he will be looking to make the correct ones. He'd just get slaughtered otherwise. 🤞🤞

@ scozza, Zirksee got a little run out, not enough for any idea of potential.

I want us to win it but I think Spain would be the hardest draw. Either way, ain’t no easy games now
